Hey guys, I made an account on the forums just to post this since I think it needs to be addressed. I have recently become a huge fan of ARPG’s with Diablo and PoE being my favourites so far. I heard so many good things about this game and thought I would give it a try and see if it lives up to the hype. It very much does live up to it. The graphics, ambiance, storytelling, combat, and progression are all I’ve wanted and more…
I played for a few days and didn’t have much of an issue at all until one day where my FPS just started dropping to around 20 consistently. I firstly thought it was something downloading or my graphics settings… nope. Was it maybe the resolution (I play on 2560x1440p) or vsync… still nope. I tried playing other games and but it only happens on Epoch. Nothing else. Anywhere.
I’ve looked around the internet for a while and found that I’m definitely not the only one with this issue. There have been no solutions anywhere other than “suck it up” or some clickbait videos to get internet clout.
I’ve tried tanking through the drops for a few hours now and I simply cannot for much longer, it consistently gets worse and worse the longer you play. I don’t want to restart my game every 30 minutes because the frames drops become unplayable, but I am forced to because it both makes it extremely difficult to react to attacks and completely ruins my immersion.
I understand that this is most likely quite a difficult issue to fix but I think that me and a lot of other players would gain a lot of clarity if the issue is at the very least addressed by the devs as something they are working to fix. But until that time comes, I don’t think I can play this game anymore,
It’s a shame that such a intricately crafted game has to be ruined for some people (quite a lot actually) by technical issues such as these. If there is any fix whatsoever I would love to know but I highly doubt it seeing everything I have up to now.
(I don’t think it matters but I have an rtx2070 with a core i7 5600x)
